He was my professor back in 2010. Wasn't mature enough to appreciate what he was trying to communicate at the time.

I read Patrick Deenan’s book Why Liberalism Failed and found it interesting. Essentially, liberalism failed due to its own phenomenal success.

Very much appreciate this interview. I taught political philosophy for several years back in the 1990s and this brought back great memories about poring over classical liberal thought and philosophy. But what strikes me about all these “Thinking in Public” interviews is that, in at least most of them, Dr. Mohler is at least as conversant, maybe more so, with the material as the thinkers he interviews. I always have the feeling that if he had the time and inclination that he could write most any of these books that he reviews 🤓🧐

I think a good follow up would be Return of the Strong Gods by RR Reno.

I find Deneen's comments at 55:07 and following critical. We are created beings. Made in the image and likeness of God, we are not gods, and we never shall be. We are not Philip Hefner's "created co-creators." To the extent that we are creative, we are, to use the term of J.R.R. Tolkien, "sub-creators." God alone is the Creator, and we must not fall to Satan's temptation in Genesis 3 to do things to "be like God."
